Need a hat? Consider yourself covered. We’ve teamed up with Love Your Melon to create a reversible hat that supporters of Children’s Minnesota can wear while helping the most amazing people on earth.

Beginning today hats can be purchased at the Storybook Gift Shop on our Minneapolis campus (2525 Chicago Ave. S.) for $30 each. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of each hat will go to our Cancer Kids Fund.

UPDATE (Feb. 18, 2016): Hats are sold out.
